Eligible Participant

Newly diagnosed stage III ovarian cancer (optimally debulked)

Patients Enrolled

429

Therapy Setting

First-line

Study Design

Randomized

Endpoints

PFS, OS, evaluated per RECIST

Efficacy

CisPt+Pac (IV) vs CisPt+Pac (IP):

PFS: 18.3 vs 23.8 months, RR: 0.80 (0.64-1.00, p=0.05)
OS: 49.7 vs 65.6 months, RR: 0.75 (0.58-0.97, p=0.03)

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

CisPt+Pac (IV) vs CisPt+Pac (IP):
Grade 3-4 AE: leukopenia (64 vs 76%), GI events (24 vs 46%), neurologic events (9 vs 19%), infection (6 vs 16%), fatigue (4 vs 18%), metabolic events (7 vs 27%), decreased platelet counts (4 vs 12%), pain (1 vs 11%)

Conclusion

PFS and OS increased with IP treatment in optimally debulked stage III patients, but IP had more severe AEs
